***Wk 8 GameDay Thread...Bengals @ Steelers***

A run game would help the pass game a lot more. Not sure what this little dapper pass attack is. We aren't KC.

One positive note is that paulie began to blitz there on the last 2 snaps of the pittsburgh drive. hopefully he maintains that going into the second half, after the bengals drive and score a TD of course.

It's Tate's fault that the Patriots cheat!

They are playing zone and playing off.

We will be fine ... The bad snap ended a scoring drive.

From what I've seen this year, We normally seem to play well after the half.

Bye week malaise. Time to shake it off and get going in the 2nd half.

Gio has had success versus Pitt in the past and what he's got like one touch today and Hill was doin good but we stayed away from him. I blame first half on Hue and Bodine

I'm pretty sure I win that complaint subject. My fantasy team started the season with Jeremy Hill, Peyton Manning, Sammy Watkins, and Alfred Morris.

Settle down, establish the run, and come out with a score on the opening drive.

Open up with points, and the running game.

And their best player is out.

You're right.  I think the 2nd half will look similar to the Buffalo game now.

One of the few intelligent things Fouts had to say was about this very fact.  It's setting us up to have AJ go over the top.

They are playing off and taking away the deep stuff.  We are moving the ball with the short plays, but shooting ourselves in the foot to stall the drives.  They've done nothing to stop us, we've stopped ourselves.

At some point the Steelers DBs will have to play up to stop it, and we will hit them in the mouth with deep routes.

We are like OSU....we are a second half team <3

I had Hill, Morris, Luck and DeSean Jackson.    Ya, my season is over pretty much.

Yep. We would at least be up two points.

[Goalpost]

Make some 3rd downs and quit the silly penalties.

[reuben.ahmed]

Dan Fouts is annoying as ****. He should shave that excuse for a beard when the Steelers lose.

I actually picked up Morris and Peyton after they were dropped in one of my leagues.
